Santa came over!!!!

Favorite tradition of the season...

Our lifelong friends (the merchants and cornetts) started this Christmas tradation together back in 2008!  We get together every December and celebrate friendship, Christmas, and a Santa Claus surprise visit for the kids.  It's magical, festive and makes me smile from ear to ear seeing the Christmas joy spread from kid to kid. 

We swear we will do this even when the kids are in high school.  It's an excuse for us to get together and celebrate the season in fashion!

This years reaction to Santa coming to our house unexpected was the best yet!  In the years past - some kids were frightened - but this year the kids literally squealed and jumped up and down in pure joy!

It might possibly be the most memorable moment thus far of the Christmas season!  And to share this moment with our forever family friends was the icing on the cake!  My cup runneth over...
